HBO Announced A Documentary About Linsanity Comes Out Next Month And Based On The Trailer, It's Going To Be LINCREDIBLE <--Jeremy Lin Pun

Here I thought House of the Dragon was going to be the best thing I watched on HBO all year but I think there may be a contender for the throne because that looked fucking incredible. Granted I may be a bit biased considering I lived through that absolute whirlwind that arrived out of nowhere just as fast as it left to Houston thanks to Daryl Morey and his poison fucking pill clause. But I am convinced that Linsanity was the perfect storm for an underdog story that we will never see again.

I mean just think about the way everything lined up. An Asian kid from Harvard that nobody heard of all of a sudden getting buckets in the biggest market in the country with fans DYING for basketball relevance complete with stories of his sleeping on peoples' couches, newspaper headlines that would be roasted for being problematic if they were published today is so wild, and an AWESOME nickname even the people in Hollywood responsible for Air Bud and Like Mike would nix the script because it seemed too far fetched. Instead it was real and it was spectacular like Teri Hatcher's tits in Seinfeld.

Giphy Images.

The thing that really got me excited was seeing Lin's teammates from that season commenting on it because they saw all the shit we saw off the court along with everything that happened on the court and in the locker room. I lived through it and still can't believe it was real. Doubly so because Linsanity was born RIGHT after the Giants won Super Bowl XLVI, which had the city buzzing to levels I hadn't heard since the 90s. Landry Fields knows what I'm talking about!

Sidenote: Finding out Landry Fields is the GM of the Hawks made my brain hurt. He better be in the doc because he was probably at Lin's side for all the chaos that took place at all hours of the night for the month he owned New York City

All of Linsanity felt like a basketball wet dream before us Knicks fans were forced to wake up drowning in our own tears after Lin got hurt during the season, never came back for the playoffs, then left for Houston before the New York media ran with all the stories of why he left. Melo's jealousy, Dolan's anger during negotiations, or any of the other million of reasons you want to pick for the Knicks hell we've all been living through which to be honest go directly back to this mamaluke.

Actually now that I think about how everything ended followed by the roughly decade of hell, I feel sick inside. So I'm gonna take some chicken soup for the Knicks fans soul by watching some highlights from that ridiculous Linsanity run that still doesn't make sense all these years later and get hyped for October 10th at a time where both baseball teams may still be in the playoffs and the NFL teams are hovering around .500.
